News: GTA V sold over one million copies in the UK last year

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V managed to flog over one million copies in the UK last year alone, according to data compiled by the Entertainment Retailers Association from Chart-Track and ISFE.

The figure accounts for both physical sales as well as digital download estimates, and puts the critically acclaimed title at having moved approximately 1,080,022 units in Blighty throughout 2017. That’s pretty impressive considering the game launched back in 2013.

Of course, we already knew that GTA V was still raking in the cash, with Take-Two confirming earlier this month that the game had shipped a staggering 90 million copies worldwide.

The full chart makes for an interesting read, as it also shows the performance of other mediums including music and movies. Unsurprisingly, Ed Sheeran’s album Divide topped the whole list, though FIFA 18 and Call of Duty: WWII managed second and third place, respectively, both selling over two million copies each.
